TEaE TEXAS INQUIRY.
1t Was Hard to Find Republicans
Who Could Read or W rite.

WAsHIN GToN, Feb. 16.-Forty or
fifty men, white and colored, gathered in
the senate corridor this morning, awaiting
examination IN respect to the Irregularities
in Washington county, Texas. The pres
ent committee has decided as general prin-
ciple, to admit only the witnesses under eX-
animation. the counsel Oh both sides and the
press. The colored witness, T. NJ. Jones,
was again called to the stand. In
reply to Senator Spooner he said
his brother, aged so wears, came to
the voting place to bring witness his
supper. The brother was not armed. He
has since been hanged presumably for con-
nection with the election riot, though this
point was not developed). He was a Re-
publican. j. NJ. Nicholson, white, a
planter, twenty years resident Of Wash
lngton county, was next examined. He was
Democrat until three years ago, since
when he has voted the Peoples ticket. He
was appointed manager of the election at
Chadwick gin house, but being i'll he was
requested to select some good man to serve
in his stead. For this purpose he attended
the polls and remained all day.
Question by Senator Spooner-Was there
an e.e ctIon there that day?
No sir.
"Well, why--won't you explain that?''
"Well, I am almost ashamed to state-I
couldn't get any one who could write. There
were three or four who could write, but they
didn't wish to serve.''
In answer to Senator Spooner witness
said he thought that no one was punished
for the Chapel Hill outrage. No one knew
who did it. Other witnesses were exam
lned, but no new facts were elected.

The Couspiracy Trial.

DUBLIN, Feb. 16.-The interest in the
trial OF the traversers is increasing. The
court was crowded to-day. None of the
defendants were present at the opening Of
the court, but some OF them looked in oc-
caslonally. During the day they were seen
about the city smoking and otherwise en-
Joylng themselves The indulgence shown
the defendants BY the court makes the trial
appear farcical. Solicitor General Gibson
detailed the counts of the indictments
and reviewed the history of the plan of cam
paign. He defied the counsel for the de-
tense to prove that the plan of campaign
was legal. The crown authorities he said,
were unable to prove that the traversers
had met together, but they could show that
they had worked together in an illegal and
criminal conspiracy. Adjourned till to-
morrow. MacDermott has refused re-
tainer Of 100 guneas for the defense of the
traYerSerS.

RUMBLE OF THE RAILS.
St. Paul Ra,e Sheet Discussed by til e
Chicago Association.
Failure of Western Lines to Agree
on Uniform Tariff.

The principal subject discussed at the
meeting of the Chicago Railroad associa-
tion-passenger department-was the ques-
tion of rates from st. Paul to the Pacific
coast and intermediate stations, and their
bearing upon difficulty involving the
Northern Pacific and Manitoba lines The
subject was disposed of by the passage of a
resolution to the effect that no rates which
would cut regular established ones would
be used as a basis of making through fares,
or be inserted in the Chicago rate sheet,
and that rates to all points on connecting
lines, whether quoted in joint or private rate
sheets, could be used in the construction
of the Chicago rate sheet. A well-known
railroad man in st. Paul. on being ques-
toned about this matter, said that the Chi
cago specials stating that the Chicago Rail-
road association had decided not to take
part in the dispute between the Northern
Pacific and Manitoba is somewhat mis-
leading. The Chicago association refused
two months ago to insert the Manitoba cut
rates in their sheet unless requested in
writing by the Northern Pacific and Mani
toba jointly so to do. They have not been
asked to drop Manitoba rates from the rate
sheet, although these rates are stricken
from the st. Paul rate sheet.

for damages inflicted in the recent riots in
that city. AT Killarney to-day 100 starving

sistance, and subscribed for hearty meal
for the sufferers. At Youghal $50

singing God Save Ireland" because
of the presence of two children, whose IA
ther is an emergency man. A new loyalist
paper, the Union, published in Dublin,
says that the tenants OH the Bodyke estate,
where evctions are pending. are armed
with Enfield rifles. which were distributed
some years ago, and that few days ago a
Fenian visited the locality and provided the
tenants with a plentiful supply of bali
cartridges. The same paper says that a
force of 1000 policemen and soldiers will
accompany the sheriffs through the district,
which is i'll state of civil war.

where even more daring attempt than that
just described to frustrate the plans would

A Row over Rates,

CHICAGO. Feb. 16.-The fact was made
evident to-day that it is not to be all smooth
sailing with the Western railroads in getting
into line with the interstate commerce law.
The through rates on the Southwestern
association lines have always been held up
to high point, and tie local rates as a
whole are kept in harmony so that South
western freight agents readily accemmo-
dated their tariffs to the new law.
To-day. however. in the general meeting of
the agents of the lines running
to Kansas City. Council Bluffs and St. Paul
it was found that the case was quite differ
ent. This was especially so in regard 20
Iowa ocal lates which are much in excess
Of the through rates. which must be ad-
vanced II the present revenue of the reads
is to be preserved TO do this the Council
Bluffs line desired the cooperation of the
Kansas City roads, asking that the last
mentioned should also advance their
through rates to 5ell the Coun-
Gil Bluffs roads out. a : serious
difference of opinion at once arose. The
lines having no interests except in Kansas
City business emphatically declined to pull
their neighborS' chestnutS out of the
fire. The most general opinion among the
officials tonight is that the result will be
that each OF the three associations west of
Chicago will be forced to interpret the law
indepenQeDt OF each other,

one-sided individual. The fight between Mr..

ton opened by two heavy weights, Bennett

ment for the audience. Taey were followed
by Foley and Wood. The master of cere-

right to fight to finish with four ounce

taken up with sparring. In the second there
was some warm work done, slightly in favor

- MEM YORK, Feb. 16.-There was two
James Kellys in the Tombs yesterday morn
ing. They were unlike except the name.
One was tall, dark complexioned young
fellow who was committed on charge of
larceny. The other was medium sized
young man with dandy complexion. The
latter was accused of assaulting his father,
Joseph Kelly, who, since the committant
of his son had relented. When the case
of Joseph Kelly VS.. James Kelly" was
called, the father of the defendant told the
judges that he wished to withdraw the
charge against his son, who he and the
court supposed was present, whereas it was
the other James Kelly-the alleged thief
who was led from the prisoners pen. The
father did not observe that his son was not
in court. The judges allowed the father to
withdraw the charge. Then he walked out
and stood in the corindowaitingafor his son.
The other James Kelly passed him unob
served and unobstructed. He went out in
an unconcerned manner. Meanwhile no
body in or out of the court had discovered
the mistake. The father waited for half
an hour or more expecting his
son and wondered what had
became of him. While pacing around the
corridor, the escaped James Kelly returned.
and re-entering the court, went up to the
bar and said: II was not in Jail for as
sault on my father. 1 was accused of steal
ing" His honest statement and more hon
orable action in returning to the court after
being accdently freed seemed to impress
the judicial. The presiding justice said:
I'VE cannot discharge you. Kelly. to-day,
but will do so tomorrow" They think he
is too honest to be held in the Tombs. There
was litter in court and deep grinning on
the faces Of the three judges when the
''honest thief returned with presumably
stricken conscience and surrendered him
self. An officer went down and got the
James Kelly charged with assault and re-
leased him upon his fathers plea. Both
left smiling at the ''set of curious cha nces'
